According to Google Translate the caption reads " Our paramedics at gramophone entertainment blooming snowball tree".
No doubt our German speaking members can do better than this.

Re: A Pathéphone entertains
Actually, nearly correct translation only missing the word "under": " Our paramedics at gramophone entertainment under blooming snowball tree". Not sure what a snowball tree is, but that's what they wrote 
Nice picture!
